Dark romance is the best way to describe Frida Giannini's latest offering this fall season.Dramatic tailoring with a sexy edge was a reoccurring aesthetic.
Velvet in jewelled tone hues such as emerald, chartreuse, turquoise, sapphire, amethyst, and onyx featured heavily on maxis, blazers, plunge neck, drop waist evening wear as well as languid trousers which appeared almost skirt like in volume.
Slouch leather pants tucked into crocodile flat under the knee boots lent an androgynous tone to the collection.
Jacquard fabric featured on jodhpurs, coats, Edwardian goth dresses, soft olive ruffle blouses.
Sheer, sexy blouses with sunray pleating, applique and embellishment dominated the runway, often tucked into high waited, fluid knee length skirt with flounce.An oversized fur coat in chocolate and desert sand was a real standout on the runway. It wreaked of opulence, modelled by Yulia Kharlapanova. Shearling and shag coats also made an appearance.
Other ensembles resembled silk pajamas but far more decadent, with prints that could have drawn inspiration fron the artist Van Gogh.
Chunky knits, tassel trim cardis and cheongsam style blouses completed the collection. As usual the collection finished with show stopping evening gowns. Layers of tulle enveloped models physiques, with plenty of flesh on display.
Statement handbags were big and boxy in patent crocodile. Peep toe suede bootie with ankle cut out was a chic addition.
